Editorial - SGA campaign kickoff: Candidates deserve attention

More to come in the following days, I promise.

Transporting Daggers

I put in House of Flying Daggers last night, popped some popcorn and everything. I fell asleep as soon as I had finished the popcorn. This was maybe 30 minutes into the movie. It was only 1 am which means the movie really wasn’t happening for me. This surprised me because usually I enjoy movies […]

Embodying My Own Principles

I’m feeling especially exhausted this week since the contrast of “fun in the sun” and “shitty schoolwork” is at its worst. I decided that rather than create a whole site I’d just do a splash page and a blog. VotePoolParty.com is “operational” in the loosest sense of the word.

Vote Pool Party

SGA Election time is here and I’m running once again (this is my third attempt). If you go to the University of Maryland, remember to vote for the Pool Party on April 11, 2006 or April 12, 2006.

Saints & Terrorists

I watched two movies in the last few days - both for free. On Saturday, our last day in Orlando, Matt, Mike, and I watched V for Vendetta using a gift card Chris gave me for my birthday, and when I arrived back here, The Saint, House of Flying Daggers, and Transporter 2 were waiting […]

[Redacted]

In this case, I was very busy today preparing paperwork and attending meetings for something I can’t actually name until tomorrow. However, […]

Front Page

A great article by funny lady Ele Izadi is in The Diamondback this morning about the campus comedy scene. I joked with Matt last night that I didn’t get a phone call for a photo shoot. Much to my chagrin, the photo is me doing stand-up at this semester’s showcase.

Called Out

I feel honored that my Computer Science professor wrote a project based on my life:
Suppose there was a fictional CMSC 212 student with very poor academic habits who skipped class often during the semester. (I know, it’s hard to believe that someone would do such a thing as voluntarily and routinely missing class, where concepts […]

Wow.

So I haven’t been on my computer for 10 days, and that’s probably a record of some sort. Loved every minute of the last week and a half, pulled an All-American Rejects and drove all night, and have so much to organize that I have nothing to write. I do have big news about DC […]

Feel Like MacGuyver?

If you’re feeling like your time isn’t being spent wisely enough, check out this guide to building an RFID Keyless Entry System to your front door. If I weren’t in an apartment, this would be my next project. I’d also look for a way to link it with my SmarTrip ID.
